Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) has undergone further tests following his crash at Donington Park last weekend. The Ducati rider crashed out in Race 2 for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship as he looked to avoid a crash ahead of him, with Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW) unable to avoid the Italian. Rinaldi was taken to the medical centre for a check following the crash where he was diagnosed with a mild concussion and a right ankle injury.

In a statement released on Thursday, Aruba.it Racing – Ducati provided a further update on Rinaldi. It said: “Michael Rinaldi underwent a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (two days ago) to rule out any long-term damage. The results of the examination confirmed normal brain function. Next Thursday (before the event), the rider will undergo all the required functional medical tests, in order to assess the consequences of the concussion and confirm that he is clear to ride at his home round.”
